Marcellus Oliver "Mac"
DW:
Proserpina Lauraine "
Rosie"
DS:
Jerome Oliver "
Jem," 14
DD:
Luna Lauraine "Luly," 11 (from
Luna to
Lulu to Luly)
DD:
Philomena Ianthe "
Phil," 9
DS:
Andrew Mallory "Dandy," 4 (Dandy here was named for
Andy Warhol, and so they started out calling him
Andy. However, he wasn't so good at saying it; it morphed into Dandy and has stuck ever since. Which is okay, because he shares his name with the Dandy Warhols and a good song by the Kinks.)
Which makes them "Mac Daddy," "
Rosie Posie Pudding and Pie," "Brother
Jem," "Here we go Luly lee," "
Phil 'er up," and "Dandy Warhol looks a scream" Saynsberry! Where their longer pet names came from is a whole 'nother story--feel free to ask. ;)
